What it is going to cause is having to learn a bunch of new tooling which I have to somehow to get behaving on my Debian box, because a particular tool that I will need to compile from source will have a bunch of Rust dependencies.

I've already run into this BTW, where I wanted to compile something in Rust and it needed a third party task runner called "just". So I then needed to work out how to install/compile "just" to follow the build instructions.

Why they needed yet another task runner, when I am pretty sure make would have been fine, is beyond me.

I don't expect them to. That doesn't mean I can't comment on the matter.
